Mobile computing initiatives are changing the ways that teachers teach and students learn. Collaborative, interactive learning: As schools seek to improve student engagement, they are emphasizing one-to one learning experiences, in which each student uses a laptop computer for accessing multimedia content and completing lessons. Mobility gives schools flexibility in how classroom space, teachers, and learning resources are used.

The boundaries of technology and how it impacts people's lives are constantly expanding, and, at times, leaping ahead in dynamic bursts. Today new technologies are connecting people and ideas in new ways. From DNA mapping to recent discoveries in cancer research to technologies that support sustainable energy use, new innovations repeatedly demonstrate how technology can positively impact the world around us in ways we could never have predicted.

Achieving operational excellence isn't easy. But through deliberate and careful systems integration planning it is possible to bring new and existing technologies together seamlessly and realise your vision of a digital campus that serves the needs of every constituent.

It has long been recognised that in order to get the best performance from students in a school environment, it is important to ensure they are engaged and stimulated by what they are learning. A key step in achieving this is making the learning experience as personalised as possible for each student, so they feel engaged and in control of their own education. Intel has collaborated with public and private companies across Germany to greatly expand the availability of information and communication technologies (ICT) services and broadband connectivity to help achieve these goals.

Russia is rapidly entering the world economy, one that is primarily based on knowledge. This knowledge can be transformed into an inexhaustible natural resource for any country and the key to building it is for students to develop 21st century skills technology and media literacy, effective communication, critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration that prepare them for success in todays global economy. These are best developed in modern learning environments with improved teaching methods, professional development for teachers, modern technology, Internet connectivity, and local digital content.
